ARTIS icono

An icon of innovation

Minimally invasive treatments have already seen a decade of great progress, but they still hold vast potential for growth and innovation.

The ARTIS icono family is designed to help you realize that potential by enabling you to offer a wide procedure mix in a single interventional suite. Its state-of-the-art technology will keep you at the top of your game for years to come. This is what we mean by an icon of innovation.

ARTIS icono floor

ARTIS icono floor is the flexible, multi-axis floor system that offers ceiling-like flexibility at a lower price point. The system provides full patient coverage of 2.1 m without having to reposition the patient and 1.9 m lateral coverage, which is ideal for e.g. radial access. Installation sizes start from just 25 sqm, while the free ceiling makes installation easier and minimizes air flow impact during imaging.

The ARTIS icono family is the ideal solution for a wide range of disciplines and procedures, in particular:

Neuro interventions

Cardiac interventions

Vascular interventions

Cardiovascular surgery

Clinical Use

A breakthrough in neuro interventions

The system now switches effortlessly between 2D and 3D imaging and offers faster, more precise cone beam CT images, even in challenging areas like the skull base and close to the cranial bone. ARTIS icono biplane is literally expanding precision medicine to advance therapy outcomes in neuro interventions.

syngo DynaCT Sine Spin takes cone beam CT of the brain to the next level.

With a conventional and pure LAO/RAO spin, a clear delineation of the basal part of the brain is limited by the surrounding bony structures. syngo DynaCT Sine Spin uses a new sinusoidal trajectory to minimize artifacts arising from these bones.

syngo DynaCT Multiphase supports sounder treatment decisions before performing mechanical thrombectomy and saves time by skipping the need to transfer to CT.

Confidence in interventional imaging

ARTIS icono provides you with new functionalities to increase confidence in interventional imaging. In stroke diagnosis new 3D trajectories facilitate the detection of bleeding and help you determine collateral status. In AVM treatment, 4D imaging yields valuable information to grasp complex AVM anatomy.

syngo DynaCT High Speed. ARTIS icono systems can acquire crisp, CT-like images up to three times faster than conventional systems. This saves valuable time and significantly reduces the risk of motion artifacts when imaging uncooperative patients.

Faster workflows

ARTIS icono systems are specially designed to make imaging workflows as smooth and swift as possible. Everybody benefits: you, your team and your patient.

Seamless switching between 2D and 3D

With Twin Spin, you can now easily switch between 2D and 3D imaging for the first time ever, making 3D preparation and acquisition faster. There’s no need to park the lateral plane prior to 3D imaging with the floor stand, and AP and lateral isocentering is performed in a single step – no need to move system components.

Less risk of equipment collisions, e.g. with anaesthesia

Facilitates utilization of DynaCT

Makes procedures faster

Turn innovation into common practice

With its intuitive operation and procedural intelligence, ARTIS icono helps you speed up your procedures and keep pace with new interventions and workflow changes in the cardiovascular environment.

Standardizing workflows to your personal needs is a big benefit in times off staff shortage and cost pressure. Case Flows will help you to improve your efficiency and give you the possibility to establish new and more complex procedures.

Case Flows reduce procedure times by optimizing all different parameters you will need during the intervention, such as imaging parameters and display layouts for specific procedures in coronary artery disease or structural heart disease and arrhythmias.

Getting started is fast and easy with Case Flows. Just choose an icon to move the C-arm automatically to the selected procedure start point. Thanks to procedural intelligence, you can create reproducible results with zero joystick interaction.

Optimize clinical operations for cardiac interventions

Optimize clinical operations for vascular interventions

Prof. Meyer, MD, on the benefits of Case Flows for optimal imaging parameters.

Each therapy step has its optimal imaging parameters, but it’s tedious to consequently adapt them throughout the clinical procedure. Case Flows combine the multitude of system settings into a one-click selection for each workflow step, resulting in a full utilization of my system’s capabilities in daily routine.1Prof. Bernhard Meyer MD, Head of Interventional Radiology, Hanover Medical School, Germany

Case Flows boost confidence and speed, especially for new team members. We enable you to also standardize procedures across multiple ARTIS icono labs – for better outcomes and more consistent documentation.

With a conventional system, up to 17 clicks may be done to perform an ideal femoral access which may take up to 90 seconds. With Case Flows angulations are automatically reached and imaging parameters are set automatically, requiring as little as 2 clicks.

Case Flows speed up femoral access by 64%

ARTIS icono floor supports a wide range of vascular IR procedures, including new trends such as radial access. With 2.10 m patient coverage and an unparalleled 1.90 m lateral coverage, it handles even your largest patients with ease.
